The charge sheet has also named seven Pakistani nationals and a Jammu and Kashmir native as suspects in the case.

The charge sheet filed by the Special Cell of the Delhi police in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidya Prakash has named alleged LeT militant Ahtisham Farooq Malick and three others - Shafaqat Ali Tuggu, Tawseef Ahmed Peer and one Saijee Anwar as accused.

While Ahtisham, Shafaqat and Tawseef are in judicial custody in the case, Saijee is out on bail.

Those named as suspects are Jammu and

Kashmir resident Usman and seven Pakistani nationals Hanzala, Furkan, Mohsin, Waleed, Javed, Qari and Hamja. The court has already issued open non-bailable warrants against them.

The police said in its charge sheet that it had received on February 27 a secret information from a central intelligence agency about arrival of LeT militant Ahtisham in Delhi for executing terrorist strikes at various sites here.

It said Ahtisham was staying with Shafaqat at Tuglaqabad and both of them were apprehended and a bag, recovered from Ahtisham, was found containing explosive material.

In its charge sheet, the police added that Ahtisham was earlier arrested in Srinagar in 2007 for hurling hand grenade on an Army convoy and had gone to Jharkhand after his release and subsequently to Pakistan in 2009 for special training in handling fire arms. (More)
